Welcome to BRB, everyone! In the
westernized world, or perhaps I should say, within the realm of the democratic
countries, we have basic laws or God given rights that we expect our
governments to uphold. We have our human rights, which constitutes many things
like the basic need to food and shelter, the right to fair representation in
court if needed and, for instance, freedom of speech. There are those who will
argue as to the extend freedom of speech can be taken, the boundaries of the
word verbal or written. My personal belief is you can pretty much think and say
whatever you feel provided it doesn’t cause another human harm. In other
words…if you stand on a soap box and point at an someone shouting “Kill him!”,
I’m not going to defend your right to freedom of speech. Not cool. But I will
defend you to the death for the right to have a voice. Now, does this rule also
apply to what a pair of consenting adults does? Does it apply to what a writer
wishes to pen? Does it apply to what an artist wishes to paint? There are
certain Taboos in civilization, certain things that humans, whether divided by
race or religious have always deemed inappropriate, and the reasons are
justified.

I like to Internet surf. I hunt for
pictures, information and stories, anything that may inspire; actually I surf
for all sorts of reasons. Don’t ask me how, but I came across a very
interesting article on incest. And specifically about a pair of young, twin
brothers from the Czech Republic that are making exorbitant amounts of money
from exploiting their supposed sexual (twincest) and loving bond through the
gay porn market. No, I’m not joking.

I’ve read numerous articles on the subject
and although this article is older, it’s one of the best I’ve come across. Of
course the Czech twins aren’t the first to have sex and they won’t be the last. Here is some basic information I took from
Wikipedia. Incest between twins or ‘twincest’ is also called Gould’s Disease,
and is considered a subclass of sibling incest, which can be either
heterosexual or homosexual. European culture deems such behaviour as taboo, but
in Balinese culture it was quite common for twins of the opposite sex to wed
because it was assumed they must of had sex in the womb. Incest between twins
is also spotlighted in Greek mythology with the story of Kaunos and Byblis,
plus sporadically in other ancient literature throughout the world. There have
been court cases involving incest, where siblings have married, and in some
cases unknowingly due to poorly documented adoptions. Yes, fact is stranger
than fiction.

According to the article Elijah and Milo
Peters, have been involved in a sexual relationship long before their porn
career. They’ve engaged in what has been coined a loving and sexual
relationship since the tender age of fifteen. I read another article that
stated their parents are supposedly disturbed and appalled. Really. Well, hell,
I simply can’t imagine why? I’m not going to reiterate the entire contents of
either article because I’m certain you get the gist.

But, here’s the twist, and I seriously want
you to think about this. I may not agree with what these two men do, but should
I defend their right to say it? Should I stifle their right to express it? On
the flip side of that coin: when is enough, enough? What about the
impressionable minds of children? If we don’t have rules we simply have chaos.
So where do we, as a society, draw the line? Does the freedom of speech and
expression give us all “a license to kill”?

I know it’s a really convoluted subject,
isn’t it. I mean once you open Pandora’s Box you unleash a myriad of unknowns
that could threaten our moral values and fundamental human rights—the very
fabric of who we are—what separates us from the flora and fauna.

I guess what I’m trying to say is do we
have a right to judge one another, and to what limit? Personally, I think isn’t
a matter of judging the person, it’s a matter of judging the behaviour. We must
have rules, and they must be enforced, because if we don’t, the innocent and
vulnerable in society will be brutalized. We’d have anarchy. We do have to draw
the line. I suppose to a certain percentage of the populous that may seem harsh,
and to the rest, not harsh enough, but which direction do we wish to go?
